Honolulu Luxe

Stella McCartney’s Resort 2012 collection, launched at a garden party featuring a prance of flamingo-bright models amidst pinãtas, is oh so beauteous.

Playing into Summer’s penchant for offbeat brights, flora and ladylike detailing, each garment is a glorious experiment in Hawaian prints, sorbet colour, and trademark Stella grownup shapes. The sartorial nods to the classic tuxe have me yearning for a tuxe-tailored shift.

I love the mod-esque palette of tangerines, turquoises and popsicle stripes.
